Amongst other things, Mike and the 'bots ridiculed the silliness of the Solarites' appearance (repeatedly compared to that of dogs) and the eponymous Phantom Planet's resemblance to a piece of fried chicken. Other running jokes also included adding dialogue for the mute Zetha and how utterly silly the dialogue is when [[ContemplateOurNavels navels are contemplated]].

!!The ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' presentation has examples of:* BecomingTheMask: Crow once again decides he's a character from the movie (a Solarite in this case.)* ExcessiveSteamSyndrome: Tom Servo explains this: "Look, there's the problem, their dryer's leaking."* FlashbackEffects: After Frank returns to his spacesuit, the movie kicks off a flashback sequence with some swirling effects, which continue throughout. Mike and the 'bots were not impressed:-->'''Crow:''' Come on, we didn't like these scenes the first time!\\'''Servo:''' Yeah!\\'''Mike:''' What if these flashbacks lap themselves?\\'''Servo:''' ''(as a Solarite)'' Can I go out, please?\\'''Crow:''' No fair! You can't flash back to stuff we saw '''''ten seconds ago!'''''* FlashbackBackBack: Parodied, as Frank drifts through space early in the movie.-->'''Servo:''' Congratulations, Mrs. Astronaut, it's a boy... boy... boy...\\'''Mike:''' Wake up, Frank. You wet the bed... bed... bed...\\'''Crow:''' Frank, you'll have to take third grade again... gain... gain...\\'''Mike:''' Mr. Chapman, this is Western Financial Collections. Do you value your credit rating... rating... rating...\\'''Crow:''' I'm afraid you're just not 7-11 timber, Frank... Frank... Frank...\\'''Servo:''' You're the worst party clown we've ever had... had... had... * GettingCrapPastTheRadar:-->'''Servo:''' It's an ''adult'' rocketship. ''Heh heh heh...''** Crow takes advantage of an unfortunate name in the credits.-->'''Crow:''' Oh! The guy who did Interplanetary Sound was named Walter '''Dick'''! See? Walter '''Dick'''!-->'''Mike:''' So, how is that significant?-->'''Crow:''' Nothing. It's just his name is Walter '''Dick'''.-->'''Mike:''' ''(Chuckling)'' Well, thanks, Crow...** It also sounds like Crow was trying to make a ''Ghostbusters'' reference, but botched it, badly.* HarsherInHindsight: Tom choosing Anna Nicole Smith to represent the second half of "the good and the beautiful."* LampshadeHanging: The nature of these lovely 1960s sci-fi films.-->'''Crow''': Somehow, the answer to all [the movie's] questions is "big white guys in jumpsuits."-->'''Mike''': [[IResembleThatRemark Hey...]]** When the aliens say breathing a different atmosphere will cause people to shrink or expand:--->'''Crow:''' "So... people are just balloons?"** Also---> '''Mike''': "Good thing there's so much gravity in space, huh?"** Also:---> '''Crow''': "So you can just take a sharp left ''in space''."** Also:---> '''Crow''': "Ahh, remember when you could fix your rocket ship with just a crescent wrench?"** Crow pointing out how he will see a movie, snap, think he's a character from the movie and dress himself up accordingly.--->'''Mike:''' I don't know if you do that any more than the rest of us, really.\\'''Servo:''' Yeah.* RunningGag: Mockery of the aforementioned "good and the beautiful" line.** Mocking the SpecialEffectsFailure, often comparing the Phantom Planet to chicken nuggets, or similar products.** Associating the Solarites with dogs.* ShipTease: Pearl and Observer cling to each other when they think they hear a ghost (which turns out to just be Bobo).* SoundtrackDissonance:-->'''Mike:''' Does this tepid little scene really deserve a '''TA-DAH! TA-DAH-dah-DAH-ta-DAH!!!'''* SplitPersonality: After the movie, Crow appears dressed as a Solarite. He's rather baffled by his "sick, amnesic psychotic blackout."-->'''Crow:''' And you know what's weird? I don't even remember ''doing'' this, and it's '''a very good costume'''!* ThrowTheDogABone: Mike finally gets one over on Crow and Servo when he casually bests them at wine glass music.* {{Zeerust}}: Invoked.-->'''Ray:''' March 16, 1980.\\'''Crow:''' Oh, our ''old'' future.
